Measure. Detect. Alert. ROTARY Point Level Measurement for Inventory Control Detect high and low levels while protecting valuable inventory with tried-and-true rotary level indicators from BinMaster. Made in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA, following ISO-9001:2015 quality processes, BinMaster offers the widest variety of custom extensions, paddles, and mounting options available. Select from the fail-safe MAXIMA+, reliable BMRX, or compact mini rotary shipped fast and built to last.
Models for Every Mission MAXIMA+ Fail-safe operation, self-diagnostics, and immediate and corrective response to failures distinguish the MAXIMA+ as the best rotary for process control. Its red LED light visually alerts to fault, covered, or rotating status conditions. BMRX From its explosion-proof housing, to deenergized motor operation, a bi-directional slip clutch, and a four-bearing drive shaft the BMRX is a rugged workhorse built for efficiency and longevity. MINI Compact design for top or side mounting on small bins or hoppers and in tight spaces. Four-vane or bayonet style paddle options, adjustable sensitivity, and simple ¾ installation for affordable level alerts and detection.

Models for Every Mission Custom Options for MAXIMA+ or BMRX HORIZONTAL EXTENSIONS Side mount through thick concrete walls using a 6, 8, 10 or 12 extended drive shaft and protective shaft guard with a sealed bearing end to prevent packing VERTICAL EXTENSIONS Get high level alerts and specify headroom with a top mounted rotary with a custom extension up to 144 FLEXIBLE EXTENSIONS A flexible 8 mm steel cable from 4 to 14 long detects the level of heavy falling material when attached to a top mounted rotary SEALED EXTENSIONS Protective bearings form a seal between the shaft and shaft guard to prevent false alarms caused by material packing
STAINLESS STEEL PROCESS CONNECTION 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 stainless steel process connections stand up in corrosive or food processing applications TRI-CLOVER Stainless steel mounts, connections, and clean-in-place features for food, feed, and pharmaceutical use We just love the Binmaster rotaries. They are reliable and offer all the options our customers need. Ronnie Shappley, Airdusco Inc. HEAT TUBES ADJUSTABLE COUPLING Vary the depth of a top mounted rotary from 6 to 72 without entering the vessel using a sliding extension Distance the electronics from the heat source when external temperatures exceed 140 F (60 C) with 6, 8, or 12 aluminum or stainless-steel extensions that can be side or top mounted
Rotary Mounting Options Angled Vertical Mount with Heat Tube with Extension and Folding Paddle with Extension and 3-Vane Paddle Standard Vertical Mount High, Mid and Low Level Indicators Insertable Vertical Mount with Folding Paddle Standard with Insertable Bayonet Paddle Standard Mounting Plate Selector Side or horizontal mounting uses a solid shaft coupler and a half coupling mounting plate available in carbon steel or stainless steel. Top mounting plates in 0, 10, 20, and 30 angles use a flexible shaft coupler to absorb impact when loading and a full coupling mounting plate.

Paddles BinMaster offers a wide selection of paddles for very light to heavy materials. Select paddles will collapse to fit through a 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 opening allowing installation without entering the vessel. For some applications, a direct connect paddle option will not require a coupler.

Principle of Operation High Level Control During Filling The paddle continually rotates until material reaches it. Sensing resistance, the motor rotates an actuator arm activating a switch wired to an alarm or process equipment to prevent overfilling. Low Level Control When Emptying When covered, the paddle is de-energized and not rotating. As material drops below the paddle, the actuator arm springs back, the motor re-energizes, and the paddle rotates, sending an alarm or starting up a process system. Many Materials and Applications Point level detection in powders and bulk solids with a bulk density of 2 pounds to over 100 pounds per cubic foot. Used in bins, silos, chutes, and conveyors storing or processing powders, pellets, and granular materials.
